If you know of a way to help save our planet, even just a small part of it put it here. Also if you want to ask how to help, or even if you want to promote your environmental organisation. All goes here.

Here is a petition to the Prime Minister to oppose the adoption of the Codex Alimentarius (WHO/UN) proposals for restriction of the presently freely available herb/vitamin/mineral food supplements.

Margaret Rothwell, the petition creator, adds:

"The principle of self medication with herbal/vitamin/mineral food supplements would be restricted to 'prescription only' status, if the Codex Alimentarius is applied in this country.

Since the NHS priorities are ill health diagnosis and treatment, the good health preservation that supplements provide will be inaccessible to the majority of our population and the cost to the NHS will increase, and the health of the population will decline."

"It's breaking the circle.
Going to work, to get money, to translate into things, which you use up, which means you go to work again, etc, etc.
The Norm.
What we should be doing is working at the job of life itself."

Yup! - I feel this is backed by the multi - national pharmaceutical companies wanting to control (and profit from) any natural remedy. Taken to its furthest extreme - medicinal herbs would be out!
This Bill is much more insidious than you think - look at 'who' is backing it!

Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less travelled by
And that has made all the difference.

They managed to get 6000 members in a week to help overturn the concealment of expenses by MP's, their Facebook group went viral... a large group like that could bring a considerable weight to bear on the Government and it has been proved before!

They tried to do this once before and were defeated, they should be concentrating on more important things than supplements and carrier bags at the moment imho!
